The former Arsenal striker came close to leaving the club in January in a bid to further his case for a place in France's Euro 2020 squad after falling behind Tammy Abraham as Lampard's first-choice forward.

However, Giroud started Chelsea's last three Premier League games and also scored in a vital 2-1 win over Tottenham in February.

"Since I have been back at Chelsea, Olivier has been brilliant as a professional and as a man in general," said Lampard.

"He has great qualities to help the squad both on and off the pitch, not only with his talent but with the example he sets every day and the experience he brings to our young squad. I am very pleased that will continue next season."
